Flashback-Fall 2010

I tilled my garden to be!  What fun AND hard work. The tiller was great, borrowed from our awesome friend Steve.  It was the operator that had problems.  Achy shoulders and tired legs.

I kept imagining what I was going to plant where: corn in top corner so it doesn't cast shadows on other plants, tomatoes should go in the north part too, carrots next to tomatoes, pumpkins and watermelons in southwest corner so they can creep out .... What a lush, green garden I was going to have.  I have plans...BIG plans for this garden.   Subscriptions to Mother Earth News and Grit to read up on gardening. Checking books out at the library.  Gotta be careful there, takes talent to make dirt and weeds and bugs interesting.

So many decisions to be made before I plant a single seed.  Do I cover crop or is it too late in the season? Start a compost pile now or wait? How to make the compost container?  Decisions, decisions.

Guess I better get back to the library and start reading....

Well now that I am here and set up I can't think of anything to say! Iguess introductions are in order...my name is Leigh Ann and I live in Kansas on 100 acres (and yes, they are green).  I have:
1-husband
2-children (1-daughter-in-law)
1-granddaughter
2-horses
2-dogs
7-casts (use to have 9)
various other varmits like skunks, possums, and coyotes.
1- large weed covered garden

These take up most of my time.  That and numerous Tivo recordings.

This is my first year gardening and I hope to keep track of my progress, or lack thereof, here. I hope to learn from my blunderings and am open to suggestions or insites. 

So...tomorrow I will start at the begining and try to catch everything up.

Sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite!

Blessings
